Suspect we'll hear rather a lot less about this today than we did when it was was people protesting against catastrophic climate change, rather than the right to hang onto their multimillion pound inheritances
Ok tractors are blocking ambulances in central London now by Waterloo. Not deliberately, but it's having an impact

The version of "western civilization" that MAGA keeps invoking is highly selective and simply discards important inheritances, from international human rights law to limits on war to cosmopolitanism to the Enlightenment. (cc @frankfukuyama.bsky.social)
Hegseth imagines himself defending "Western civilization." But the West has also made important contributions to the idea that there are moral limits on what we can do in war, from Cicero through Augustine, Grotius, Kant and more. He discards this inheritance. 6/

Outlawing massive automatic wealth inheritances would narrow the racial wealth gap more than any other single measure.
Massive wealth inheritance should be abolished
In an equitable (fair) world, it would be.
I said what I said.
When an old white man dies a gazillionaire, that money should go to the state to help eradicate poverty.
Yes, people will hire lawyers and hide their wealth—doing so should be illegal.

People expecting inheritances from boomer parents need to brace themselves for some industry or service to pop up soon that will syphon off all their money before they die.

Also, a note about cosmopolitanism. Stephen Miller hates it. But it's worth noting that it is one of the inheritances from "western civilization" that he loves to cite as under threat from immigrants. And it's far more admirable than his ethnonationalism is.

Inheritance tax is charged on estates, not pay packets. Calling it a tax on “working people” turns a cut for larger inheritances into a pretend pay rise.

The current state of the fighting, as this war enters year 5, is the product of two (by global standards) lavishly equipped heavy mechanized forces inflicting such violence on each other that it has burnt up vast Soviet inheritances of vehicles and fires.

I think we're fooling ourselves if we pretend those cultural contexts, rooted in shared inheritances (classical literature, Latin, Christianity) didn't matter for the emergence of this particular form of liberal democracy or its initial spread.

he grew up wealthy, but not particularly well connected, because everyone hated his parents for good reason. he was legitimately violent and got shuffled around extremely elite private military schools because he couldn’t behave. he tried to swindle his own siblings out of inheritances.

“Also among our best Western inheritances, liberals can say, are ideas about our shared humanity across borders. Those recommend a well-run immigration system—reformed to facilitate orderly legal immigration in the national interest—over Vance-Orbán ethnonationalist barbarities.”

The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/

Trump’s Humiliation in Orbán Defeat Stunner Is Only Just Beginning
For Viktor Orbán’s epic loss in Hungary to have real meaning in America, Democrats and liberals need to proclaim themselves part of the global anti-authoritarian movement.
